Bill overview
This bill, the Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act, aims to prevent individuals and families from being further burdened by debt after receiving disaster assistance from FEMA. It requires FEMA to waive debts related to disaster assistance if those debts were the result of an agency error and are considered a hardship, or if the assistance is subject to a legal claim. The bill also mandates FEMA to report to Congress on efforts to reduce errors in disaster assistance distribution and changes made to their internal processes.
